Prepolená tvár, ruky ako sushi, či chýbajúca časť tváre…

Dokonalé optické ilúzie má na svedomí 31-ročná makeup artistka Mimi Choi. Talentovaná Mimi sa venuje makeup tvorbe už 3 roky. Nechala prácu učiteľky, pretože ju dostatočne nenapĺňala a začala sa venovať makeup tvorbe, ktorou ohúrila celý svet.

Aj keď to vyzerá, že za fotografiami stojí photoshop, nie je to tak. Mimi využíva pri svojej práci štetce a kozmetiku, ktorú máš doma určite aj ty. Tieto hororové ilúzie, ktoré nechávajú zimomriavky na koži, Mimi maľuje aj 5 hodín.

Hey guys, is it just me or is my 👃🏼a little bit crooked? 🤔😩 • This is #makeup • Another variation of my #shift makeup illusion using @nyxcosmetics matte black liquid eyeliner and Vivid Brights. Inspired by the brilliant illustrations of @miles_art. Video coming next to clear some of your confusions! 😜

Jet lagged 😵 • This is #makeup • An extension of my #MELT makeup using @kryolanofficial Aquacolors, @stilacosmetics intense black stay-all-day liquid eyeliner and @makeupforeverofficial @makeupforeverca liquid matte lipsticks. Honestly too tired to produce anything of quality or even take a decent photo but I was dying to create so at least I got it out of my system. Goodnight. 🌜#loopyaf

This is #MAKEUP on my hand 🍣 (Turn on sound!) • When @andrewy527 gets hungry again at 11PM… 😒 #donteven • SALMON #SUSHI makeup illusion using @kryolanofficial Aquacolors and @suvabeauty Hydra liners. Coated with @skinillustratorofficial Clear Gloss. All makeup, no Photoshop. If you are wondering where my arm is — I painted my wrist to blend with the dish and the rest of my arm black to camouflage into the black table. Look closely and you'll find it. 😛 Took 1 hour in total. #sashimi #salmonsushi #illusionmakeup #handpainting #handmakeup #trickart #makeupvideo

How I feel after several episodes of sleep paralysis. 💤😖Does anyone here experience it regularly like I do? It's the scariest thing ever. I swear I struggled for at least 15 minutes last night before I could wake myself up. 😿 _______________________ LACE UP Final look 👟👁🎀 • Shoelace quadruple eye #makeup illusion using @suvabeauty Hydra liners, @nyxcosmetics @nyxcosmetics_canada liquid eyeliners, @makeupforeverofficial @makeupforeverca artist eyeshadows and @houseoflashes "Knockout" false lashes.

My eyes are up here 👀👆🏼• "INCEPTION" #makeup illusion inspired by a photoshopped image of Paul Ryan 😅. (See the post before) Used @nyxcosmetics @nyxcosmetics_canada pencil and liquid eyeliners plus matte eyeshadows for this look. Lashes are all @houseoflashes "Knockout" falsies except for the littlest ones that I had to paint on. All hand-painted, took 3 hours. 🐼

#Throwback to one of the #Halloween makeup illusions I did this year on client Emma. 👁 Multiple-eye looks have been heavily experimented for a while and I have stopped for a little bit to try other things out. But I'm finally ready to create brand new eerie multiple-eye concepts mixed with elements I've never done before in the new year! Quite excited to share! Hope you all had a wonderful #Christmas! 😽❤️

A few of the #makeup illusion pieces that I've done lately ✨ • 10 days till the #MIMLESORIGINALS MAKEUP CONTEST ends! 😻 Thank you for all the lovely creative submissions so far! 💖 Remember to submit by December 31st 2016 if you haven't yet to win $300CAD+ worth of products and get featured! See below for contest rules. _____________ I get it — nothing in this world is 100% original. When I create, I usually get my inspiration from my surroundings — patterns that I see on clothing/wall/architecture, a texture in nature, paintings, photography, emotions, etc, and I try my best not to look at other makeup artists' work to get my ideas. I would like to encourage you to do the same and draw your ideas from different places other than makeup that fuel your imagination! So devour old and new films, paintings, poems, photographs, music and conversations to get your inspiration, and create a makeup look that is authentic, surprises and uniquely your own! ❤️ _______________ The contest is LIVE NOW and ends on DECEMBER 31st 2016 11:59PM PST so challenge yourself to create your very own original signature looks! Here are the instructions on how to enter: 1. Follow @mimles on Instagram. 2. Tag at least one person who would be interested in participating in comments. 3. Post your ORIGINAL makeup look with the hashtags #MIMLESORIGINALS and #MIMLES, and tag me in the photo/video so I won't miss it! 4. You can post as many looks as you want but it has to be a BRAND NEW LOOK created for this contest. Tagging old work does not count for this competition. 5. Please state what you're inspired by! No recreations of other makeup artists' work please! 6. Contest is open to EVERYONE from all over the world. Good luck and have fun with this! I am excited and cannot wait to see what you come up with! 💋✨💖 #makeupcontest #makeupcompetition #contest

SWIRL 🌪🌪🌪 This is makeup • I'm back! Sorry for the lack of #makeup updates as I'm still pretty sick and I've been confined to my bed for almost 2 weeks now. But today I finally woke up with an appetite of a sumo wrestler and have enough energy to do a little #opticalillusion on my face using @suvabeauty Hydra cream base in "Dark Humor Matte". 🌚✌🏼️Used @stilacosmetics matte black eyeshadow for shading. Stay tuned for more weird 💩!
